All you guys running wheels with no center caps, have you had issues with your hubs rusting? I know this is an issue with open ended lug nuts which causes rust droplets to get sprayed all over the wheels.

I am thinking about painting the hubs black with rust reformer spray paint before I put on the new wheels to prevent this issue. What do you guys think?
